Episode description

When Josh Muskin graduated college, he lost a sense of purpose.  As a lifelong athlete, he felt as if he had nothing left to train for.  His competitive nature went away.

Then, in the fall of 2017, he came across a Facebook post of a friend crossing the finish line at Ironman Canada.  And it lit a fire under Josh.

He decided right then and there that he was going to do a triathlon -- that's a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride, and a marathon all done back-to-back in the same day.

Problem was, he had no experience doing any of those things.

So how did Josh prepare himself in just 337 days?  And how did he handle all the obstacles that popped up along the way?
